General Updates

Neo announced the addition of Rangers Protocol to the Neo X ecosystem. The partnership will see the two entities collaborate on providing tooling to simplify the onboarding experience for EVM-based Web3 developers, in advance of the tentative 2024 launch of the Neo X EVM sidechain.

Neo has been added to Pop Planet’s PoPP AI Chrome Box Plugin, allowing users to access an AI assistant tool and obtain information and answers to their Neo-specific inquiries. The PoPP Chrome extension also offers a chat feature, enabling users to interact in real-time with others about projects within the PoP Planet ecosystem, such as Neo.

Neo partnered with Echooo Wallet, a self-custody solution powered by account abstraction, which will integrate support for the Neo X EVM sidechain once MainNet is live. With account abstraction, user safety and security over self-custodial wallets is improved by removing dependence on private key solutions and offering wallet recovery functions. Echooo Wallet currently supports the Neo X TestNet.

Meme2Earn launched a new three-week campaign in collaboration with Out of Context Human Race. The top 100 meme submissions will share from a prize pool equivalent to US $2,500 in TIPS tokens. The Meme2Earn team is also conducting a bonus airdrop of 2 trillion TIPS tokens, which will be split among all active accounts that meet the prerequisite criteria.

Meme2Earn launched an additional meme campaign in collaboration with Football God, a fixed-odds sports betting and prediction platform built on the Internet Computer Protocol blockchain. An equivalent of $700 is available in token prize rewards, and a 1 million TIPS bonus airdrop will be split among active Meme2Earn platform users. The contest is live and will run through Thursday, June 13.

NEO.Coupons were launched by a developer from within the Neo community, Hastalapizza, who is also known for the creation of the Schrute Bucks memecoin. This platform enables users to create downloadable token coupons that can be printed and redeemed online, providing a novel way to distribute cryptocurrency. NEO.Coupons supports any NEP-17 token, with special custom designs available for the $CHRUTE and FRANK tokens.

Neobox launched a new game, Dice Jump, on the platform’s apps page. The gameplay is similar to that of Angry Birds, where the user selects the dice-based character and drags the cursor (on desktop) or finger (on mobile) to determine the trajectory and distance they wish to hurl the dice onto a subsequent column. This addition increases the total number of available games to eight.

GhostMarket released a platform update designed to improve the user experience when managing NFTs and trading tokens. On the GhostMarket platform, users can now send any token from any supported chain by accessing the sidebar profile panel. Users can also send tokens to domain names on any EVM blockchain, Neo’s NeoNS, or Phantasma.

Frank Coin concluded a giveaway campaign to celebrate the community’s achievement of surpassing 2,000 followers. Two users received 1 GAS and 100 FRANK NEP-17 tokens, six users received 1 GAS token, and six users received 50 FRANK tokens.
